Ukrainian volunteers, who created an application for checking privacy in the Telegram messenger, offered to develop a secure communication service in ‘Diia’ app.
As analyst Bohdan Solomykin noted, no application or messenger can be 100% safe.
In particular, in the conditions of war, the most questions arise about Telegram, because everything that gets on the Internet can appear in public access on the network. Russia actively uses this.
The NGO conducted an experimental study on where the information deleted by Telegram users ends up.
‘For example, a user sent another person their passport data, and then decided to delete this information. Most platforms today have the option of instant deletion. However, our research showed that such information is stored in Telegram for several hours after deletion. We do not know where it goes. The very fact of such a delay leads us to believe that telegram is dangerous for data transmission,’ the expert said.
The developers proposed to create a Ukrainian alternative to Telegram and other social networks and messengers. It can be based on the ‘Diia’ app, which proved its efficiency.

Those innovations are part of civic resilience and the democratization of security, which Europe is paying close attention to right now.

It is looking for concrete ways to bring ordinary people into the work of defense and resistance.
Petro Poroshenko’s lawyers have appealed to the High Anti-Corruption Court demanding that NABU be obligated to register proceedings regarding the fact of exerting influence on the court and to recognize Petro Poroshenko as a victim in the case of the Deputy Head of the Office of the President, Iryna Mudra, due to her pressure on Supreme Court judges who were considering a lawsuit to overturn sanctions.
Internationally recognized brands and financial institutions should direct capital to Ukraine now, not waiting for the hostilities to end.
